Developing Grit in the Pursuit of Goals

Grit is a core competency of skill and self-belief necessary for goal achievement. In the daily grind, it's common to feel frustrated and question if the goal is too ambitious or if we should quit. However, it's essential to recognize that this challenging phase is a natural part of the process. To stay in the game, we must have metrics to measure progress, maintain confidence in our abilities, follow protocols and policies, take care of our physical well-being, and show leadership to ourselves and our team. By persevering, taking one step at a time, and paying attention to the metrics, we can overcome the daily grind and reach the breakthrough point where belief in our ability to achieve our goals strengthens.
